Dear Sadaananda,
Namaste. I would like to know what exactly you mean
when you say something is notional, and something is factual.
>> Yes, for that reason jiivaatma is notional and not factual and we need
> shaastra to remove that notional misunderstanding.
>What exactly is meant by jivAtman is 'notional' ?
Does it mean it is just in 'thinking'?
or does it mean it is only described that way in Agama?
Does something that is 'notional' ever become 'factual' ? or
Will notional stay notional for ever? Conversely,
Can factual ever become notional ?
Also what would be the equivalent shAstraic terminology for
these two terms.
Help me out.
